Apple started a long-delayed trial of its artificial intelligence tools for Chinese users on Wednesday, as it tries to catch up with homegrown smartphone makers in one of its most important markets. The trial of Apple Intelligence, the company’s suite of on-device AI features, is limited to developers for now. Apple said in a statement at the weekend that the public will get access in December. The features first launched in the United States and other markets in autumn 2024, Apple’s first major move into generative AI. Their arrival in China was held up by the country’s strict rules on…

While member state authorities would still take decisions on returns, the EU border agency will become “responsible for return-related support from the beginning to the end, from A to Z,” Brunner said. Under the Commission plan, Frontex could also help deport people from EU countries to hubs in countries outside the bloc, and from those hubs to third countries, the commissioner confirmed. Centrist and left-leaning lawmakers said they were worried that the expanded mandate and scope would come with larger fundamental rights pitfalls. “How will we guarantee that Frontex will comply with EU law while they have to obey the…

The recording shows people gathered outside a former school building, anxiously discussing the threat of further attacks. “Misha, is it coming again?” a woman asks, before a warning crackles over a police radio: “Guided aerial bombs heading towards Komyshuvakha! Take shelter!” Officers urgently direct people down the stairs into an underground refuge. Moments later, the camera records a violent explosion. The strike killed at least 37 people, according to Ukraine’s national police, including the officer whose bodycam captured the attack. The shelter, located inside a former school building, was hit by a Russian FAB-3000 aerial bomb, a powerful weapon weighing…

Ces résultats impliquent probablement de futures enquêtes sur la guerre en Iran, le fonctionnement du FBI et, bien sûr, les business de la famille Trump. Pour se faire une idée de leur magnitude sur le plan politique : c’est comme si vous aviez le scandale du Whitewater de Bill Clinton et la première procédure de destitution contre Donald Trump réunis, avec en prime l’affaire Iran-Contra pour pimenter le tout.

Christmas came early to Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, when 55 graduates of the Escola de Papai Noel do Brasil gathered beneath Christ the Redeemer to mark the end of their training. Dressed in red suits and white beards, the new Santas sang carols as they rode the Corcovado mountain railway to the statue, then climbed the final steps for a ceremony that included a blessing and the presentation of diplomas. The free course, open to men aged 50 and over with naturally white or grey hair and beards, runs for a month of Tuesday afternoon classes covering acting, improvisation,…

He freed desire, shattered taboos and turned it into art. Tinto Brass, the director who brought Italian erotic cinema to a wide audience, leaves this to his public: liberation from inhibitions and the celebration of Eros. Between experimentation, scandal and films that became cult favourites, Brass bids farewell to his audience: the director has died in Rome at the age of 93. Born in Milan on 26 March 1933, he spanned more than half a century of cinema. In recent years he lived in Isola Farnese, on the outskirts of Rome. At his side was his wife Caterina Varzi, whom…

La France insoumise s’est réjouie de la défaite de Donald Trump lors des élections de mi-mandat aux Etats-Unis, y voyant la possibilité de “faire reculer l’extrême droite”. Toute coïncidence avec la situation française n’est pas fortuite, alors que le scénario d’un second tour opposant Marine Le Pen à Jean-Luc Mélenchon devient de plus en plus probable, sondage après sondage. Pourquoi les Insoumis se sentent-ils pousser des ailes ? Ont-ils raison d’y croire ? Cela oblige-t-il les candidats de la droite et du centre à redéfinir leur stratégie ? Anthony Lattier en discute avec Victor Goury-Laffont, journaliste à POLITICO, et Marcelo…

Footage shows demonstrators lying on the pavement, with groups of officers lifting them and carrying them to a waiting police van, while others continued holding placards. Police said 25 people had been detained on suspicion of supporting a proscribed organisation under the Terrorism Act, with further arrests expected. The legal challenge was brought by Palestine Action co-founder Huda Ammori, who is seeking to overturn the group’s designation as a terrorist organisation. The court heard that it was the first of 98 proscribed groups banned solely for causing serious property damage, rather than advocating violence against people. More than 4,000 arrests…
